johnny horton - the elecrified donkey lyrics
writers ferlin husky, eaton
well, i bought me a donkey, about four foot tall
to plough my cotton in the early fall
he’s runnin’ around, it was an awful sin
i had to build a fence to keep my donkey in
i rigged up the wire with a battery charge
to keep my donkey from a-running at large
inside this bin i turned him loose
thrilled by volts of electrified juice
[chorus]
which way did my donkey go
if you see him let me know
i haven’t seen my donkey since
he backed into that electrified fence
now, the first time he backed up against it
he threw back his ears and he had a fit
he brayed real loud and he hit high gear
he jumped up into tyhe stratosphere
i just got word from albuquerque
a donkey up there was looking for work
he’s my donkey and his name is jack
oh, how i wish he’d come on back
now, more word came from palamar
a man up there was a-watching the star
while looking through his telescope
he nearly had himself a stroke
he saw something riding up the rainbow trail
two long ears and a puckered up tail
this thing he saw when he ‘firmed the states
was a donkey heading for the pearly gates
hee-haw (hee-haw)
hee-haw (hee-haw)
